Location
Set in Alsip in south Chicago, the hotel is within a few miles of Bachelor's Grove Cemetery, Lake Katherine Nature Center, and the Children's Museum in Oak Lawn, and about 10-12 miles from Pullman National Historical Park and Haunted Trails Family Entertainment Center in Burbank. Chicago's larger cultural attractions -- including the Museum of Science and Industry, the Robie House, the DuSable Black History Museum, and Jackson Park -- sit roughly 18-19 miles away, making this a base best suited to guests with a car or willing to drive into the city.
Best for
This hotel suits road-trippers and highway travelers thanks to its direct adjacency to Interstate 294, as well as air travelers using Midway Airport given the free shuttle and roughly 9-mile distance. It's also a reasonable fit for business groups and small events, with 11,500 sq ft of function space, a business center, and an on-site restaurant and lounge for meals and gatherings.
Travel tips
Having a car is recommended, since most of Chicago's major museums and landmarks (Museum of Science and Industry, Robie House, Jackson Park) are roughly 18-19 miles away and better reached by driving or transit rather than on foot. Closer options within a few miles include Bachelor's Grove Cemetery, Lake Katherine Nature Center, and the Children's Museum in Oak Lawn, all reasonable short drives for a break from the highway. Flyers connecting through Midway Airport can take advantage of the hotel's free shuttle service instead of arranging separate transport.
What guests say
Guests consistently praise the comfortable beds, spacious and well-lit bathrooms with full tubs, and generally positive interactions with front desk, breakfast, and bartending staff. The steak restaurant's food quality is also frequently highlighted as a strong point, though a few guests mention slower service during busy periods. On the negative side, some reviews describe housekeeping lapses -- including missed towel replacement and bed-making during multi-night stays -- as well as isolated but serious issues like a room being double-assigned to two parties and an unprofessional front-desk response to a room-type mix-up. Cleanliness concerns such as a dusty AC unit and questionable pillowcase freshness were also raised in at least one detailed account.
